You've avoided answering my question again. You clearly haven't a clue. Just to reiterate what he's good at when it comes to being a midfielder.
1. Solid touch
2. Ability to shield and hang onto the ball.
3. Moves the ball quickly.
4. Positionally very good and people find it hard to get past him.
5. Passes between the lines well.
6. Joins in well when attacking.
7. Calm and collected on the ball, usually makes the right decision.
He is a 22 year old lad playing as a major part of the first team squad for Manchester United. Most midfielders, even the big ones, are not as accomplished as Scott at this age. Your lack of faith in Scott really says a lot about your understanding of the game.
The way I see it, at worst Scott becomes a John O'Shea type squad player, at best he becomes an important member of the first XI.
He's really remarkably good at number 2. and in many ways than one. He is unfazed by any situation he is under, when it comes to receiving the ball, and not just now or last year. Right from his first games one and a half years ago, he's had this consistency. He is often the guy who concedes possession the least number of times. and even in spaces that are almost insane, he somehow comes out composed. sure, even if he uses his physicality here and there to do it, but hey, you got a body. use it. nothing wrong if you do. actually more footballers don't do this any more. Its never unfashionable for a footballer to be able to do that. I frankly wouldn't mind signing SMS for whatever obscene money he would warrant, just because he has this incredible beast of a body that he can use and combine it with skills akin to pogba, and you have a terrific footballer. Now Mcsauce is not that level yet. but I do remember Jose actually commending him at end of his first year, or rather before the end of the season, before he scored eventually, that "McTominay does everything I ask of him, except score. and that is because I dont ask him to. I wonder if he might be fantastic in that also". but he wasn't going to try him as a number 10 any time soon. and whatever. but ultimately that was the point. he still has a very understated appeal as a player who can do things in final third, but, even other wise, he is very composed, calm, and really is one of the best players with whom you can play any kind of football. He wont be your creative player, but he can do all sorts of things, and he can do them all with least number of touches. hey, Darren Fletcher was able to too, remember a hattrick of rooney vs bolton game where one of the goals was first time amazing chipped through ball of Fletch. I sincerely believe McTominay can do that. But he wont go around playing he has to be a playmaker, or have this tendency to dictate tempo or dwell on the ball. and people may forever not get him because of that. silly f*ckers. He has pretty much been my proper Fletcher replacement in truest sense who gets this economy of touches nailed, and he is actually built bigger than Fletch and can also use his body and presence. if he was German, or if Schweinsteiger played half as good as this kid in his time here, people would miss that fecker for another 5 years like we still reminisce about Henrik larson at times.
